Oskar Körner (January 4, 1875 - November 9, 1923) was a businessman who participated in Adolf Hitler's failed Beer Hall Putsch, in which he was killed.
As the Nazis tried to cross over the Ludwig Bridge to get to them center of the city the police were waiting for them fully armed. When the Nazis tried to talk their way out by announcing they had hostages and General Erich Ludendorff with them the police didn't care. Then shots were fired. It is not known who shot the first shot but at the end sixteen Nazis and four police were dead, including Körner. His death along with others would be used in the occult practices in the Third Reich. Hitler dedicated his book Mein Kampf to him and the other dead Nazis. In the book he is considered a martyr.
